Candle Making.
This is your chance to make candles in a variety of shapes and colours using moulds, glass or ceramic containers or traditional dipping methods. Due to the high temperature required to melt the wax, children under 14 must be accompanied at all times. There are three different methods you can try:
Moulded Candles - A variety of rigid and flexible moulds can be filled and left to set, removing them after a few hours. These cost £1-00 each.
Container Candles - Molten wax can be poured into glass or ceramic containers, perhaps made in pottery or on the glass engraving course. You can use a range of colours and wax shapes to create some very individual designs. Fragrances can be added to container and moulded candles. The cost starts at £1-00 for a container, plus £1-00 for the candle.
Dipped Candles - By dipping a candle-wick repeatedly in molten wax, layers of colour can be built up which can be shaped and carved as the wax hardens. Partially set dipped candles can be twisted or plaited together. These cost £1-00.
